All language subtitles for Suits LA S01E11 1080p WEB h264-ETHEL

Previously on "Suits LA"...

I've been up and running

as the head of the Criminal
Division since Monday.

Then we need to
make an announcement

as soon as possible.

Big, splashy case, preferably
related to entertainment.

- You know Sierra Carson?
- Of course I do.

Teen star accused of
assaulting her father.

Don't you wanna
know if I did it?

Not right now.

I believe I have myself a
new attorney, Your Honor.

"The Office" was
a work of genius!

Even Toby was funnier than you!

So you told Patton to start
that whole thing with me?

I did.

I need to know if I'm
facing criminal charges.

You got yourself into this;
you can get yourself out.

Yeah, I killed Janet
Fields, and I will kill you.

But I'm not gonna have to,

'cause you don't
wanna hurt Helen.

Or your sweet children.

I recorded everything
that you just said.

So if anything ever
happens to my good friend,

you are going to spend

the rest of your life in prison.

Okay, but if that gets heard,
you know what I'm capable of.

♪ It's tearing up my
heart when I'm with you ♪

♪ And no matter what I do ♪

♪ I feel the pain ♪

♪ With or without you ♪

♪ And baby, I don't understand ♪

♪ Just why we can't be lovers ♪

Come on, guys, you're
supposed to come in on the...

ah, suck it.

You two take the fun
out of everything.

♪ But baby ♪

♪ Can win ♪

What the hell? You hit me.

I hit you because
you stopped short.

I stopped exactly where
I'm supposed to stop,

and maybe you would
have seen that

if you weren't busy dancing
to some '90s boy band music.

I was listening
to no such thing.

Oh, really? Is this you?

That is not how I car dance.

And even if I were expressing
joy during a very popular song

that just happened to be on,

there's a sign right
there that says,

no stopping unless
you're an idiot.

- It doesn't say that!
- You're right.

It says no stopping unless
you're a moron... my bad.

You better rethink
calling me a moron

in front of my flesh and blood.

It can't be a surprise to them.

They better pray it
skips a generation.

Just give me your information

before I skip on
over to the police.

Fine. Now, get back into

your roller skate
you call a car.

Never want to see your "Drake
& Josh" guest star face again.

I recurred on "Drake & Josh,"

and I was a lead
on "Community."

An overrated show if
there ever was one.

"Community" is one of the
greatest sitcoms ever filmed,

and don't you forget it.

I will forget it the same
way the American public has.

Oh, it's on,

you ZZ Top-looking
moth...

That's right.

I said it.

New car?

It's a loaner.

Some stupid mom stopped
short in the drop-off lane.

- And you hit her?
- That's what she's claiming.

And let me guess.

You told her very calmly
it wasn't a problem,

and you came to a
mature resolution.

- What's your point?
- That you have a temper.

Since when do I have a temper?

When they put the wrong
soap in the bathrooms.

Hygiene's important.
What are we, cavemen?

- Ben's Pomeranian.
- It's not a service animal.

Carol's time-off request.

I'll give you that one,

though I still
think preeclampsia

sounds like a made-up condition.

I mean, think about it.

You never hear about
post-eclampsia.

What is wrong with you?

The point is, just
'cause this woman's on TV

doesn't mean she can get away

with forcing me to rear-end her.

Wait, did you just say on TV?

- Maybe.
- Who is it?

I'd rather not say.

Why not?

Because, upon
further reflection,

she may be Rick's client.

Maybe or is?

That is an interesting
question... to be or not to be?

Stuart, who is this woman?

Yvette Nicole Brown.

Let me get this straight.

You rear-ended Rick's client,
insisted on it being her fault,

and called her an idiot in
front of the entire school.

How can you know that?

Were you there?
- No.

I've known you for
longer than five seconds.

Now, let me tell you
what's going to happen.

You're going to call Yvette,

tell her you'll
pay for any damage,

and apologize for
getting worked up.

But I don't want to.

Then you can
supplement Rick's bonus

to the tune of 5% of
her earnings every year

from now until forever.

I could probably
lob a call her way.

Okay.

So the charge is
aggravated assault,

which means they're going to say

that not only did
you hurt your father,

you intended serious
bodily injury.

Now, we're going to argue
that they cannot prove

that that was your intent.

That was my intent.

Walk me through why.

There was this part
that I was offered.

A real role... like
a chance to prove

that I'm more than
some stupid teen star.

And he killed it.

So you found that
out, you came home,

and you just threw
the statue at him?

No, I told him I'm sick of him

trying to control
everything that I do,

and he said that part
would make me a joke.

I screamed at him.

He wants me to stay
that little girl

from "Wholesome Creek" forever.

He said, that little
girl won that award.

I took one look at it,

lost it, and threw
it at his face.

And then what happened?

Blood started pouring out,

so I called 911.

And they took him
to the hospital,

and then they arrested me.

Okay, we do have a hearing

to get you access to your
money for your defense.

So is there anything else
I might need to know?

It's not just my career
my dad tries to control.

I mean, he won't even
let me see my money.

I think he's spending
it on himself.

I don't trust him.

He won't even show me the books.

Well, that all ends today.

♪ See the money, wanna
stay for your meal ♪

♪ Get another piece
of pie for your wife ♪

♪ Everybody wanna
know how it feel ♪

♪ Everybody wanna
see what it's like ♪

♪ I'll even eat a bean
pie, I don't mind ♪

♪ Me and Missy is so
busy, busy making money ♪

♪ All right ♪

♪ All step back,
I'm 'bout to dance ♪

♪ The greenback boogie ♪

What's taking him so long?

It's Stuart's bachelor party.

He can take as long as he wants.

But since we are waiting,

tomorrow's our last
day in California.

Do you want to go to
Universal Studios?

Do you want to go to the beach?

Anything you want to do.

I want to visit Samantha.

Eddie, things are a little
complicated with Samantha.

We haven't spoken
since she left.

I miss her.

Don't you miss her too?

Yeah, I miss her, but...

Hey, who's ready for
a bachelor party?

- Ah!
- What's up, Eddie?

Come here.

Okay, okay.

Hey, bud, do you want to
wait for us in the car?

All right.

He seems good, given everything.

He doesn't know.

His father's on trial,
and he doesn't know?

If he knew, he'd
want to be there,

and I don't want him to
hear what that bastard

is capable of, so no.

Well, what happens if
they find him guilty?

I will drive off that
bridge when I get to it.

Either way, thank you very much

for moving your bachelor
party to this weekend.

Of course, man, you're my
best friend in the world.

I'd move it to Mars
if it would help.

I'm only sad you're
not here for longer.

We're not gonna kiss, are we?

Everything's on the
table tonight, Ted.

It's my last hurrah.
Helen wouldn't mind.

Do you think that Helen is
saying the same sort of thing

at her bachelorette?

That's not funny.

Yes, it is.

Patton, what are you doing here?

I am here to sign my contract.

Yeah, let me explain
to you how that works.

You sign...
- Mm-hmm.

After I'm done negotiating.

Ted, this is my
dream role, okay?

I've been dying to do a
movie like this for years.

- They're not gonna recast you.
- You don't know that.

What I know is,

if you sign now, any demands
that you might have...

I have no problems
with the contract

as it currently stands.

I'll sign, okay?

I have no other
demands on this movie.

- You sure?
- 1,000%.

I'll get the contract and
meet you in my office.

Okay.

Brian.

Patton.

Man, I am so sorry
for how things went

between us last time.

I appreciate that. Thank you.

Erica told me you
were just trying

to work me up for my own good.

Even so, things got out of hand.

I said things I didn't mean.

If there's anything I can
do to make up for it, man,

please let me know.
- Because you brought it up,

Erica told me about the
new movie you're doing.

I'd love a part in that.
- My what now?

Movie.

I'd like for you to get me
a part in your new movie.

The thing is, like,
you're doing drama now,

and this is an action comedy.

And there's no drama
in it, you know?

That's okay. I'm still
willing to do comedy.

The thing about your comedy,
though, is it's not...

Physical?

Funny.

I'm not funny?

You know, I've won two Emmys.

Yeah, for an ensemble.

I mean, it's like getting
a participation trophy.

Ensemble, says the
man who is playing

comic relief in an action film

and suddenly thinks
he's an action star.

How dare you say that to me?

I've been working out.

At what gym, the Waffle House?

I'll have you know,
I can do 34 push-ups.

You could do 100 push-ups.

No one is ever going to
believe that "Ratadouchie"

could fall out of an airplane,

much less jump out of one.

It's "Ratatouille,"

and that's your opinion.

Is it... is it also my
opinion that the sky is blue?

Because you've got
a better chance

of convincing the world
that that's not true

than that you can
do your own stunts.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Nothing's wrong
with me. I'm alive!

You won't be if you
don't get off right now.

Make me, you piece of...

Hey, hey! What the
hell is going on?

He started it.

I don't care who started it.

I'm ending it. Now.

Hey, Ted. It's
great to see you.

So tell Erica, give
me a call, all right?

And, uh, we'll just...

Do the things that we do.

He was... he was...

yeah, okay.

Good morning, Ricardo.

Have I mentioned to you

how much I think
you're killing it?

What did you do, and
what makes you think

I'm going to help you fix it?

Berry Extraordinary Danish?

That's what they call
it, and, believe me,

it is berry, berry good.

Whatever it is,
the answer is no.

You do realize you work for me?

And if it was
something that fell

within the bounds of my job,
this Danish wouldn't be here.

It'd be in your belly.

Okay, fine.

Yvette Nicole Brown.

Oh, my God, I should have known.

You're the drop-off
dad from hell.

Then I'm sure you're aware

it wasn't a crash,
it was a ding,

and it was her fault.

Then why are you here?

Samantha helped me realize
that I may have overreacted.

And therefore, I
am prepared to...

You can do it.

Spit it out.

Apologize

and make restitution,

if you could convey those
sentiments, so on and so forth.

No.

I'm saying I'm sorry.

No, Stuart, you're asking
me to say you're sorry.

And the last time you asked
me to talk to someone for you,

it didn't go well.

Rick, I'm not
asking as your boss.

I'm asking as your friend.

Well, then I'm telling
you, as your friend,

making an apology
through a third party,

that's not an apology.

You got to man up, Stuart.

Whatever you do, just please,

don't be yourself.

Danish stays.

All right.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Me? He had the nerve

to demand a part
in my new movie.

But how did that lead to that?

That's not important.

What's important is, I
want to do my own stunts.

What?

Since when?

Since always.

That's really the
reason I came in today.

I want to make sure you put,
"he can do his own stunts" in

before I sign any contract.

Patton, two minutes ago,

you were over the moon.

What's going on?

Look, Ted, I'm sorry.

I know I'm not anyone's idea of
a quintessential action hero,

but I want to do my own stunts.

This is really important to me.

If it wasn't this important,
I wouldn't ask you to do it.

Your Honor, we believe
that Sierra's father

has been taking
advantage of her.

Me?

She's the one that shows
up, and not a day later,

there's a big
announcement in the paper

that her firm is
representing my daughter.

And you're the one using
her earnings for yourself.

Oh, that's outrageous.

I do what is in the best
interests of Sierra.

I always have.

Then show us the books.

I don't have to
show you anything.

He's right. He doesn't.

And I'm inclined to deny your
petition for a conservator.

- Your Honor...
- You've presented no evidence

of anything you're saying.

Is your client alleging
physical abuse?

Sexual abuse?
- No, but if I...

Then for all I know, this
is a 16-year-old girl

who doesn't like that
her dad isn't letting her

have what she wants.

Your Honor, you said
that I was more qualified

than the public defender.
- Yes.

That's why I let you take
the case in the first place.

But that doesn't mean
a girl who's accused

of assaulting her
father can use money

he controls to get away with it.

How is she meant to
fund her defense?

That's not the court's problem.

You want to give this back to
the public defender's office?

No, I don't want to do that.

I care about my
client, not the money.

Then it looks like you're
handling this pro bono,

and we're going to trial.

Ted.

Amanda, I thought that
you were leaving pro bono

to head Criminal and
not leveraging Criminal

to do pro bono.

Believe me, bringing
on Sierra for free

was not the plan.

I understand, but this
is your first case.

We made a big,
splashy announcement.

And doing it for free
sends the wrong message.

I don't care what
message it sends.

She doesn't have the money.
I'm not gonna drop my client.

I'm not asking you to drop her.

I'm telling you there's
a way to make it work.

- How?
- Get Erica to sign her.

That way, we get an
entertainment client

out of the Criminal Division,

which is the reason
we have both.

- The only problem I see?
- Mm-hmm?

The father.

Amanda, I'm not asking
you what the problem is.

I am just asking you to fix it.

Miss Brown,

thank you so much for coming.

Oh, I'm Miss Brown now?

I thought I was
a overrated moron

who can't read a stop
sign that doesn't exist.

Clearly, I was worked up,

and I shouldn't have spoken
to you in that manner.

You are an exceedingly
funny actress,

and I would be more than
happy to pay for any damages

to your vehicle.

That's what you got?

I have been an actress
long enough to know

a scripted apology
when I hear one.

Scripted or not,
it's an apology.

Now you accept it.

So you're telling me
that I have to accept it?

Well, what happens if I don't?

That would be unfortunate.

Are you threatening me?

No.

'Cause it sounds like
you're threatening me.

Help! I'm being threatened!

- Shut up! What are you doing?
- Help!

I am showing you what
a fine actress I am.

And if you can't do better than
that excuse for an apology,

your firm is gonna
lose a client.

You're gonna drop our firm

because you didn't
like my delivery?

You're damn skippy 'cause
I'm not gonna be represented

by a bloated windbag...

How dare you call me
a bloated windbag,

you has-been whack job.

- What did you just call me?
- Did I stutter?

Now you're making fun
of people who stutter?

No!

But I will make fun
of anyone I want.

Now I realize that leaving
this firm may not be enough.

You're not leaving anything
because I'm kicking you out.

And guess what?
That apology was BS

'cause you're a crappy
driver, you're not funny,

and it will be a
cold day in hell

before I ever apologize to the
world's least talented actress.

Least talented actress.

There's at least five more
that are worse than me.

Maybe four.

Oh.

Please, come in. I
need a distraction.

Tough contract?

Brian Baumgartner's rental
agreement in New York...

wants the pet deposit waived.

What kind of pet does he have?

He doesn't... says the
whim may strike him.

Reason number 761 why I
don't represent actors.

But you do, which
is why I'm here.

Ted wants you to
sign Sierra Carson.

- No.
- I get it.

You're worried about
the charges against her,

but I am telling you,
I'm gonna win this.

It doesn't matter
if you win or not.

She's a child star
past her prime.

- Erica...
- I don't have time

to take on a client that
no one's gonna hire.

In that case, you know that
thing you're always saying

you haven't thanked
me for enough?

You haven't.

I thought you said all those
Chinese dinners did that.

I was lying. You owe me.

You really are head of
Criminal now, aren't you?

You bet your ass I am.

One more thing.

She can't actually sign
with us until she's 18

or the father approves,
which he may never do.

So we can't make money off
of her for another two years?

It's a long-term investment.

You have always been very
good at the... the long game.

Fine.

I'll do it,

and I'll convince
the father for you,

but please, don't kiss my ass.

It's not a good color on you.

That is very insightful of you.

Next up, we have the dynamic duo

of Stuart and the Tedster.

And they're "Tearin'
Up My Heart."

- You didn't.
- I did, and you are.

- Stuart.
- Come on.

Fine. I'm doing it myself.

- I'm not...
- I'm doing it myself.

Get up here, Ted.
You know why?

♪ It's tearing up my
heart when I'm with you ♪

♪ And when we are
apart, I feel it too ♪

♪ And no matter what I do ♪

♪ I feel the pain ♪

♪ With or without you ♪

Hey!

You a big fan of NSYNC?

No, I hate them.
That's my brother.

Oh, yeah. I see
the resemblance.

Are you Patton Oswalt?

- You know who I am?
- Of course.

I love "The King of
Queens" and "Ratatouille."

A man of refinement and taste.

I like that. What's your name?

- Eddie.
- Eddie.

♪ Tearing up my
heart when I'm with you ♪

Let me tell you
something. Your brother...

Patton, can I get an autograph?

Yeah, I'm talking to my
friend, Eddie, right now.

Yeah, come on, just
sign real quick.

I gotta go.

Listen, I'm talking to
my friend Eddie, okay?

Come on, dude,
Make-A-Wish can wait.

Make-A-Wish? That's brilliant.

I know someone who made a wish.

Your mom wished that you didn't
grow up to be a mean douche.

What did you just say to me?

I'm sorry.

I meant to say your mom
should have seriously

considered birth control.

Too good for me now?

Do you have anything
else you want to say?

- You all right?
- No.

Yeah.

I saw you stand up
for my brother there.

Thank you. Ted Black.

Patton Oswalt.

- Teddy.
- Yeah?

He's famous.

You wanted to see me?

So Patton Oswalt comes in today.

He's itching to
sign his contract.

And then he gets into a
fight with Brian Baumgartner,

and all of a sudden,

he wants to do all
of his own stunts.

And you want to know if
Brian had anything to do

with Patton's ask?
- I do.

Long story short, Brian told him

he couldn't do his own stunts.

Okay.

Thank you, Erica.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Now, hold on there, slugger.

As long as I'm here, next time
you want me to sign a client,

you come to me.

Don't send Amanda.

I hate when clients are
shoved down my throat.

I thought it was a win-win.

Well, if it a win-win,
why didn't you sign her?

First of all,
40-year-old man swoops in

to save teen starlet
with Daddy issues

has lawsuit written all over it.

40?

Being a little generous
with yourself there,

aren't you, Grandpa?

Hurtful.

Second of all, this
is a young woman

with a controlling
man in her life,

and you are better suited
to represent her than I am.

I gotta say, I didn't
think you had it in you

to see it like that.

Do you have it in
you to apologize

for calling me Grandpa?
- No.

But I will sign Sierra Carson.

Do you mind telling me
how you intend to do that?

Easy... I'm going
to help Amanda

get her out of her
assault charge,

and when it's over, she's going
to be begging me to sign her.

Now, make me a drink.

Stop asking silly
questions, Pop-Pop.

I have never liked you.

And you never will.

Your Honor, we weren't
supposed to start trial

for another week.

I'm aware of
that, Ms. Stevens,

but the prosecution
has a motion.

The state now believes
that Miss Carson

should be tried as an adult.

She is 16 years old.

You were before
this judge yesterday

arguing she should have her
own money for her defense.

I was arguing for a conservator,

and the judge said no.

Not to letting her
pick her own attorney.

Your Honor, this is
nothing but this man trying

to make a name for himself
and would not be happening

if my client were not famous.

It's not my fault
she's an actress who

earns as much as an adult

and knew full well
the consequences

of what would happen

if that statue hit
her father's head.

I have to say, I'm
inclined to agree.

I understand that, but he
is springing this on us

with no notice.

If you'd like 24
hours to respond,

I'll grant you that.

Actually, I'd like a
moment with my client.

How badly do you want to
be free of your father?

It's all I think about.

I told you, he controls
everything I do.

Then here's the thing.

I can fight this,

but I think if we accept it,

we can use it to get you free
of him, once and for all.

And what if they find
me guilty as an adult?

I don't want to go to prison.

It's a first-time offense.
It's aggravated assault.

There is no way I'm letting
you go to prison for that.

Okay.

I trust you.

Okay.

Your Honor, we agree to be tried

as an adult on the condition
that you acknowledge

you are declaring her an adult,

and she is legally emancipated.

So ruled.

- No.
- Rick.

- Get out of my office, Stuart.
- Listen to me.

I already heard what happened.

Yvette came in here
for an apology,

and you insulted her even more.

Do you know what I had to do
to convince her not to drop me?

Promise you'd bring the dead
goat to her next coven meeting?

You think that's funny?

She's a major client, and
she's important to me.

No, I don't think this is funny,

and she may not
have dropped you,

but she found a
way to punish me.

Punish you how?

She got a restraining
order against me.

Stuart, I'm her lawyer.

I didn't file any
restraining order.

What are you talking about?

This is not a restraining order.

This is just a letter
barring you from the school.

Exactly.

I'm being restrained from
going to my children's school.

Well, maybe you
should be kept away

from children if you...

wow...

made fun of people
with disabilities?

She's twisting what I
said so they would bar me.

Says here you mocked
people who stutter.

I would never do that.

I reserve the right to
mock people who stutter.

It's a free speech issue.

Let's just call up
the school, then.

You tell them about
the First Amendment,

and I'm sure they'll
let you back in

around the 7th of Nevuary.

Why are you taking
her side in this?

Because you're in the wrong

in every part of
this conversation.

Rick,

my children are the
most important thing

in the world to me.

My daughter's play
is this weekend.

My son's soccer team
is in the semifinals.

I've never missed
a game. Please.

I told you before I was asking
for your help as a friend.

Now I'm asking as a father.

I need you to convince
her to drop this.

I'll do anything.

Well, Patton, it's been
very nice talking to you,

but I need to go
get my buddy Stuart

before he starts
singing Carly Simon.

I gotta ask.

You're the guy that took
down John Pellegrini, right?

Come on.

What can I say, man?
I'm a Scorsese fan.

I follow mob trials.

So, to you, I'm famous?

But, to you, I'm famous.

I never actually heard of you.

What?

Out here, no one is
honest with you like that.

It's really refreshing.

I heard your Neil
Diamond earlier.

Would you like my unvarnished
opinion on that too?

No.

Do you have a business card?

No, I don't, I'm actually...

I'm in between
jobs at the moment.

Well, if you ever
think about becoming

an entertainment
lawyer, look me up.

I would, except for one thing.

- What?
- I'd rather kill myself

than become an
entertainment lawyer.

We don't want that.

- Nice to meet you, Patton.
- Nice to meet you, Ted.

Yeah. Uh-oh.

There he is.

You gotta get me out of here.

What's going on?

You haven't even
sung Carly Simon yet.

You remember your surefire
way to not throw up?

Yeah, don't drink too much.

I didn't do it.

Let's get you...
let's get you home.

Come on, buddy. Hey.
- He's famous.

Yes, he is.

Okay, Patton, before
I convince the studio

to let you do your own stunts,

it's going to cost them
$1 million in insurance,

so they're not gonna let
you change your mind.

Why would I change my mind?

Let's take a look at the
animatic of the stunt.

Well, we're on a plane.
I've flown before.

The stunt...

has not started yet.

Oh. I know that. I know.

- There it is.
- Whoa!

He jumped out of the plane!

Jumped out of the plane.
Okay, he's falling.

He's doing somersaults.

Why does the script
call for him to do...

does he have no sense
of self-preserva...

where's his parachute?
- Wait for it.

Pulled the ripcord.

Pulled the ripcord, it is over.

No, it's...

it's not because
your parachute snaps.

For the love of God!

Who packed the
freakin' parachute?

You did.

I di... this guy
is a Navy SEAL!

He doesn't know how
to pack a parachute?

Your character is
not a Navy SEAL.

If he's not a Navy SEAL, why
is he jumping out of airplanes?

Make it stop.
- No.

What? What? What? What?

We are going to
watch because of...

the landing.

Oh, God!

That's not a landing.

That is not a landing.

That is... that's death.

He died.

He's de... I'm dead.

He died, and I'm dead.

Are you okay?

What about me looks
okay right now?

Nothing.

So let me get you
out of this thing.

No. I still want to do it.

I want to do it.
- All right, listen.

Look, I heard what
Brian said to you.

You don't have to
prove anything to him.

- I appreciate that, okay?
- Okay.

But it's not about him anymore.

This is about me facing
and overcoming my fear.

And if I can't do that,
I can never act again.

You're gonna have to
walk me through that.

You were right, at first, okay?

It was about what Brian said.

He said I couldn't do it,
so, oh, now I gotta do it.

But, Ted, the only place
I've never been afraid

is when I'm performing.

And now I got it into my head

that this is part
of that performance.

And I can't get
it out of my head.

So now, if I don't
do this stunt...

The only place that you've
never been scared goes away.

I have to do this.

Then I'll get it done.

But we are gonna watch
the animatic again.

Nope.

Okay.

No, no, no.

He always goes for the
snacks when he's scared.

Amanda, what in God's
name did you do?

I see that you read
the court proceedings.

You mean the one
where you agreed

to let Sierra be
tried as an adult?

Erica...

Are you out of
your goddamn mind?

Listen to me...

I was gonna lose
that motion anyway.

At least this way, she's
free. You can sign her.

I'm not talking
about her career.

I'm not either. I'm
looking out for her life.

Well, then you're
failing on both counts

because she could
end up in prison.

I'm not gonna let that happen.

Okay, Amanda, I'm no
criminal attorney,

but even I can see you are
way out in the deep end.

Please, tell me
what's going on here.

Look, I get this girl. I get
what she's going through.

I had a controlling father,
but I had no one to help me,

and I'm not gonna let what
happened to me happen to her.

Oh, my God.

That publicity-seeking
son of a bitch.

You were right.

About what?

The DA interviewed the father,

and, based on his statement,
they're upping the charges

to attempted murder.

Let me state the obvious.

You cannot take this to trial.

I-I don't have a choice.

I-I'm not in a
position to cut a deal.

Maybe not with the DA,

but you can cut one
with the father.

What do you want me to do?

He went to them
and told them this.

He couldn't have known
they were going to use

what he said to charge
her with attempted murder.

You don't know that that's true.

And you don't know
that it isn't.

- Erica, just...
- Look, you agreed

to let her be tried as an adult.

Attempted murder is
five years, minimum?

Yeah.

You have no choice but to
make peace with the father.

And if you don't, I will.

Yvette, thanks for coming in.

Oh, is that a peppermint latte?

Yeah, extra minty, with goat
milk, just the way you like it.

Oh, well, I'll take it, but
just because I'm thirsty.

Doesn't mean I'm buying
whatever it is you selling.

Oh, okay.

Listen, um...

So I heard what you
did to Stuart, and...

Ah, so you're worried
he's going to retaliate?

He doesn't scare me.
- Yvette...

Look, Rick,

I know you've always
had a thing for me.

You know, you love someone
that you represent,

and you know, sometimes the
lines can get a little blurry.

I wouldn't necessarily...

And I know you've
always seen yourself

as my knight in shining armor.

That part is true, yeah.

But, Rick, I need you to keep
your sword in its sheath.

Where's this going?

I'm just trying to say that
I'm not worried about Stuart

coming for me because I
am a fierce, independent,

occasionally violent woman.

You said a lot of
things there...

most of them, wish you hadn't.

But look, I'm not
defending Stuart.

Despite his many shortcomings,

the man is a great father.

And if you don't
lift this order,

he's gonna miss a huge
part of his kids' lives,

and it's breaking his heart.

So you're pleading his case?

I'm asking what it would
take to convince you

to talk to the school.

He'll do anything you ask.

- Anything?
- Anything.

All right.

Number one, he is not allowed
to listen to '90s boy bands

while driving ever again.

He should've never
been allowed to do that

in the first place.
- I agree.

And, two, he will
write me a poem,

and he will recite it in
front of a large gathering

of my friends and family.

I gotta admit,
that's a good one.

- Mm-hmm.
- He'll hate it,

but he'll do it.

Anything else?

Yeah, I got one more,

and this one's not negotiable.

Mr. Forrest, thank you
for agreeing to meet.

Hello, Sierra.

Dad.

Why don't we have a seat?

So you're aware that they would
be trying Sierra as an adult?

Uh, yes, they told me.

And what that means is,
if she were found guilty,

she would be sent to an adult
prison for five to seven years.

- No, that isn't what I want.
- Good.

Because you can stop all of this

by telling that DA that
you're not willing to testify

against your own daughter.

Now, before I say
yes to anything,

I want to talk about her
supposed emancipation.

It's not supposed.
It happened.

And I'm not willing to give up
supervision of your choices.

You mean supervision
of her money?

What did you just say?

We can play games, or we
can just cut to the chase.

You can keep all of her money.

She gets her freedom.

You want to pay me to
stop being her father?

I want to pay you to let
your daughter grow up.

And I'm taking that part.

No, you are doing no such thing.

I will not have the
world see you as a...

As a... a what, a sexual being?

As a whore!

Well, I'm capable of
making my own choices.

No, you are not.

The court thinks I am.

Because your lawyer
argued for it.

I did that because you
want to control her life

so that you can
control her money.

If you think I care one
bit about the money,

you don't know me at all.

Then why don't you just show
her the books, you hypocrite?

Okay, that's enough.

Sierra, I'm going to
tell you something

I don't think anyone's
said to you before.

Your father is
looking out for you.

You might not like
how he's doing it,

but it is what he's doing.

- Exactly.
- And you...

I've seen this movie before.

You can stop her
from taking this role

for another two
years, but one day,

another role will come along,

and she is not going to be
your little girl anymore.

If you don't want her hating
you for the rest of your life,

you need to wrap your
mind around that.

I wasn't hiding the books
because I took your money.

I was hiding them
because there is so much,

and I didn't want
it to mess you up.

If you want to take a role
like this in two years,

there's nothing I
can do to stop you.

But right now,
you are too young.

I'm not.

Sierra, you threw a
statue at the man's head.

What do you think?

I think Erica is a
very smart woman.

Rick.

Look, Yvette is willing
to give you what you want,

but she's got some demands.

You're gonna hate
them, but you're gonna

swallow your pride, and
you're gonna do them.

But?

One of them, I'm not sure
how you're gonna react.

What is it?

She wants you to take an
anger management course.

No.

She's trying to humiliate me.

No, not with this.

My goddamn anger is
managed just fine.

Okay, look,

if you don't do this,

you aren't going to get to go

to another one of
your kids' events.

Why are you doing this to me?

Me? I'm just
trying to give you

what you want.

What I want is for her to
stop threatening my family.

She is not threatening
your family.

You don't know what
she's capable of.

It's just a demand. You
don't have to do it.

She's got a goddamn
gun to my head!

Stuart.

What is really going on here?

Want to talk about it?

My father wasn't
just controlling.

He was an addict.

He took my college money
that I'd earned from working,

and I had to lie to keep
him from going to prison.

That's just for starters.

Then it's a wonder
you didn't throw

a statue at Sierra's father.

I might have.

But someone with a
cooler head stepped in.

She sounds amazing.

You should thank her.

I should.

My father was hard on me too.

He pushed me, and he pushed me,

said that people like us
need to work twice as hard

to get where we want.

I'd push back, too, of course.

Sometimes too hard.

We'd fight like cats and dogs,

but every Sunday,

we'd go out for breakfast,
just me and him,

and I'd remember that no
matter how angry I got at him,

he was doing it
because he loved me.

What?

I was just gonna say I wish
I'd had a father like that,

but I do...

My stepdad.

I need to call
him later tonight,

after our plans.

What plans?

We're all set up upstairs,

in half an hour... Chinese food.

And this time it's on me.

You didn't.

You think I don't know
how to thank a person?

Well, did you get egg rolls?

'Cause you know we can't eat
Chinese food without egg rolls.

- Please.
- Extra crispy?

Just the way you like them.

Well, then, I'll see
you in a half-hour.

Fancy meeting you here.

Did you come to thank me

for not only signing
Sierra Carson

but for making her
charges go away too?

I came to tell you
that I was right.

About what?

You being the perfect
choice to represent her.

Let me get this straight.

I come in, save the day,
and you take all the credit?

I'm sorry. Did you
miss orientation?

Ted Black, nice to meet you.

I remember you.

Grandpa Black, been
taking credit since 1929.

It's just the same joke
over and over again.

I know, but it never gets old,

unlike you.

Seriously, Erica, I know that
you didn't want this client.

I also know that I don't say
this to you nearly enough,

but there is no person
that I would rather have

by my side than you.

Rick.

What are you doing here?

Uh, actually, I came
here to talk to Ted.

Of course.

I was just heading
upstairs, anyway.

What's going on?

Look,

I don't know what happened

between you, Stuart,
and David Bowie,

but Stuart needs you.

Stuart, what's going on?

Hey.

Rick came to see me.

I thought I was okay.

But Bowie threatened my family.

And I got into it with
this mother at the school,

and I somehow thought she
was threatening my family.

And now I can't
go to the school.

And now I can't see my kids.

I'm not right.

Have you talked with
Helen about this?

I can't.

Stuart, she's not
just your wife.

She's a therapist.
She'll understand.

I told you he threatened her.

I don't want to scare her.

I get it, but she
can handle the truth.

I'm not telling her
she's in danger!

Okay.

There's something wrong with me.

- Okay.
- I need your help,

but I don't know what to do.

I got you.

I know what to do, okay?

♪ Now you're out of touch ♪

Sorry, to drag you away from
whatever you had planned today.

Please.

You know I'd do
anything for Eddie.

I do.

You look nice.

Thank you.

So do you.

Thank you.

I heard you got into a bar fight

at Stuart's bachelor party.

It's not... it's not
my finest moment.

I know what's going on.

Your father's trial must have
stirred up a lot of stuff.

He called this morning.

I didn't take it, but it's...

it's over.

He got convicted.

How's Eddie taking it?

I haven't told him yet.

You can't shield
him from this, Ted.

It's his father.

He's an adult, and
he deserves to know.

I just wanted to
give him the day.

He wanted to spend it with you.

What are you gonna do?

Stuart's trying to get
me to move out here,

which will never happen,

but we're gonna eat
lunch by the beach

while he tries to convince
me how nice LA is.

You'd never consider moving out?

I could never leave Eddie.

Samantha, I missed you.

I missed you too.

Come on.

Let's go.

Take care of yourself, Ted.
- You too.

♪ It's been a long ♪

♪ Long time ♪

♪ Brother of mine ♪

Ted, what brings
you here so late?

I don't want to get into
too many details, but

Stuart's struggling.

He needs some time off.

Does this have something
to do with David Bowie?

It does.

That guy had trouble
written all over him.

We took care of Bowie,

but Stuart's telling Helen

that he's going
on a business trip

so that he doesn't worry her.

He would be gone a week or so.

You still think of him
as a brother, don't you?

I didn't think I did, but...

turns out I do.

I won't say anything to Helen.

Thanks.

Would you like to
stay for a drink?

A drink sounds nice.
